How to pause in Dota 2?
I’m new to Dota 2 and recently found myself in a match where I needed to take a quick break, but I couldn’t figure out how to pause the game. It became frustrating, as I didn’t want to let my team down by being AFK. I’m not sure whether it’s a key command or a menu option, and I really need guidance to avoid disrupting future games.
To pause a game in Dota 2, press the F9 key during the match. Note that pauses are limited, and in multiplayer games, they require a majority vote to initiate or resume, depending on the game settings.
